Maybe now it is becoming clear to everyone what I have been saying for a couple years. The negative trends were showing themselves and no one wanted to see it and just hide behind meaningless defense rankings based on yards.

It's time for the 4-3. We aren't getting a dominant NT anytime soon IMO.

Exactly. They are too hard to find or you have to draft a typically overweight player who will struggle to maintain weight too high. It just goes back to what I have said for years. We have reached a logical rebuild point, actually IMO two years ago, and the fastest way to rebuild our defense is to draft players and move them into the same positions they played in college. Taking two years to convert hoping it will work out will not allow us to turn this around quick enough.
